SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the experiences and insights related to the Navy Nuclear Enlisted program, specifically focusing on A School and the STA-21 program (Seaman to Admiral). A School is a rigorous training environment where time management is crucial, balancing academic responsibilities with physical fitness. The advantages of serving on submarines versus surface ships include limited port visits for submariners, impacting lifestyle and travel opportunities. The STA-21 program offers a pathway for enlisted personnel to become commissioned officers, with specific application requirements outlined on the official STA-21 website.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Navy Nuclear Enlisted training structure
  • Familiarity with A School curriculum and expectations
  • Knowledge of the differences between surface and submarine service
  • Awareness of the STA-21 program application process
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum and schedule of Navy A School for Nuclear ratings
  • Explore the lifestyle differences between surface and submarine Navy service
  • Investigate the requirements and benefits of the STA-21 program
  • Learn about physical fitness standards and training during Navy A School
USEFUL FOR

Individuals considering a career in the Navy, particularly those interested in the Nuclear Enlisted program, prospective STA-21 applicants, and current enlisted personnel seeking advancement opportunities.

Hi everyone,

I am about to go to basic training before going in as a Nuke. I was hoping if I could get some answers to a few questions I have. What is the life like in A school? How long is the school and how much time do you have for other things like working out? What are the major advantages of doing either surface or sub? For example, as a sub you wouldn't get to port in other countries I'm assuming. Also, does anyone have any experience with the STA-21 program (Seaman to Admiral)? Really hoping to understand how to apply and what I need to do to get accepted by this program. Answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.
